Pavlof Disrupts Cold Bay Flight Service

Wednesday, June 05 2013

The ongoing eruption at Pavlof Volcano is disrupting regional air travel.

Pavlof stirred back to life Tuesday morning, and has since sent up numerous ash clouds. There’s been no reported ashfall in any nearby communities, and none of the clouds have reached above 19,000 feet, but PenAir cancelled its flights to the Peninsula community of Cold Bay Wednesday because of concerns about drifting ash. On Tuesday, they canceled an afternoon flight to Sand Point.

Marketing director Missy Anderson says they’ve scheduled extra flights for Thursday to deal with the backlog.
